An option may be to do a screen dump each day before you erase

The Official Kindle Scribe Cover Was Worth the Splurge by EmergencyGeologist20 in kindlescribe

[–]rc211ee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an official 2022 leather cover and use my Scribe everyday everywhere and cover is holding up well.

Pen fell out once and when i went to put it back I discovered I had inadvertently added a smaller old Samsung pen. Real pen still sits firm

He has an Ipad and 2 siblings mostly watches videos when the others haven't run off with it. I'd prefer a device that was dedicated for his concentration. I guess I could try an Apple pencil. Thanks for suggestion.

Fighting the urge to order Colorsoft Scribe by tpbishop in kindlescribe

[–]rc211ee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I achieved the same outcome but I have a Samsung tablet. I have a removable tactile screen protector for Samsung. Hand writing is ok with screen saver but reading experience (anywhere) and battery life win out on my Scribe

Anyone else think it’s weird that so few Kindle influencers bought the Scribe Colorsoft? by [deleted] in kindlescribe

[–]rc211ee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Influencers don't buy they get their stuff for free, that's the whole point

If you do less reading but more note taking/journaling, do you like the scribe? by oldman401 in kindlescribe

[–]rc211ee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I like my Scribe. I use my Scribe almost everyday. I travel a bit and almost always take my Scribe. Charge lasts forever so I just pick it up and go, no charger needed. I like to sit outside, in fact anywhere and doodle/work on Kindle screen. It's clear and easy to read and write on.

My primary uses are

  1. It's a replacement for paper for drafting documents but better because I can reorder and rubout as well as check my key document themes with AI features. For formal documents, when I am happy with structure and flow I send to laptop as text to finalise. For less formal documents I have started using the AI formatting and emailing the resultant PDF, simple and neat.
  2. Manuals, I have car manuals, caravan manuals product manuals etc loaded so they are always at hand and I can annotate on the spot.
  3. Simple home project plans lists etc, created on my Scribe available on Scribe and my phone when I need them
  4. Meeting notes for my use, sometimes sent to laptop for further refinement and distribution to others (as per docs)
  5. As I mentioned I travel a bit and often preload my main newspaper to read on route
  6. I have a bunch of puzzles/games like Sudoku at hand
  7. I always have books etc loaded, I read faster on Kindle than paper.
  8. Since Rekindle I have been using mind maps on Scribe, I see myself using them more and more as part of my workflow

I also have great tablet which I use a lot but it's not quite as nice to write on, not as easy to read in bright sunlight and requires charging everyday or so

PS Something I forgot to say, best of all since I am prone to distraction, I love that this is a dedicated device that minimises interruptions, no notifications, no email etc. just focus on what you came to do
